The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1887-02-10

a number of other leading concerns Of
the kind are represented by heating
and cooking stoves there is full dis
play OF hollow, timed, japaned and
other ware, and, as for the past two
years, the house holds itself in readi-
ness to do all manner of such out-of-
door work as roofing, guttering, spout
ing, etc., and the making OF special
jobs to order.
For the season now approaching
the firm propose to make a specially
of tobacco Aues, and every farmer
hereabouts or in Western North Caro-.
lima who proposes to cure a barn of
tobacco wants to come and talk with
friend Pierce about fues, for he will
furnish reliable ones.
The house as it is now is really a
consolidation of three fully equipped
concerns-from Bristol, Rogersville
junction and this place. 1t has every
facility for doing the best of work, and
how well the people have sustained
it is shown by the large number Of
stoves (nearly ten car loads) it has
sold within two years. A good cook
ing stove, with equipment, is sold for
$3.50, and from that the price ranges
to $75.00-but on that score Mr., Pierce
can give more information in five
minutes than we could in as many
Columns of space. He has had thir-
teen years experience in the trade
he knows just what he represents and
what he undertakes, and the new firm
cannot help continuing and expand
ing the business before held. Skilled
workmen are employed in the shop
whatever work is done will be well
done, and it certainly won't be the
fault of Mr.. Pierce or his associates if
the future does not prove prosperous.
DR.. C. II. BERRY.
The COMET has something to say of
the professional interests of Johnson
City in this review-it talks OF law
yers, doctors and dentist. DR.. Ber-
ry is the local, resident representative
OF the last mentioned profession. He
is, like most of the gentlemen to whom
we refer, young man-is a ma
tive OF Carter county, but for the past
fifteen years johnson City has virtu-
ally been his home-thus it will be
seen that we are not talking of a
stranger.
DR.. Berry studied dentistry under
Dr. King, of Bristol, and he first en-
gagged in practice for himself at the
thriving town of Hickory, N. c., but
for short time only, when he located
at Newport, in Cooke Co. He was
there for five years, and from that
point returned here, where he has
since remained The Doctor under.
took to build up a demand for what
is known as progressive, modern den.
tistry when he came here. In these
efforts he has never tagged, and he
has the satisfaction of knowing thai
his efforts have met with hearty re-
cognition. He has worked earnestly
to impress the people OF this commun
ity with the importance OF preserving
their teeth, and so the operative
branch of his profession has grown
very materially. OF course plates, il
abundance, are made, and for thi
class of work DR.. Berry has attained {
reputation that he need not be asham
ed of.
, In his pleasant Office there are som,
peculiarly inviting appliances to b.
met with The operating chair, 10
instance, looks as cosey as can be, ant
by its side stands one of those mos
excellent instruments an S. S. Whit
, dental engine. These appliances ar
supplemented by the latest improv
ed instruments used in every depart
ment Of the profession, and in thi
respect no dentist in East Tennessee
surpasses the gentlemen to whom W
refer.
Dr. Berry spends all his time her

extent as to keep him busy most {
the time, and as a professional gentl
